Former NBA Player Pero Antic is trying to revive his false arrest lawsuit against New York City. The former Atlanta Hawks center had sued the city in Manhattan Federal Court in April 2016. Judge Jesse Furman tossed Antic’s case in June, saying there had been “arguable probable cause” to arrest him. But Antic’s lawyers filed papers Thursday asking Furman to vacate his ruling. “The judge’s order did not to take into consideration vital evidence,” said Derek Sells, one of Antic’s lawyers. “As a result, we are asking him to reconsider his decision and allow a jury to hear this case.”

Former NBA center Pero Antic filed a federal lawsuit against the city and NYPD, arguing he was unfairly arrested in connection to the stabbing of another hoopster outside 1OAK in Chelsea. Antic, 33, and Thabo Sefolosha, 31, were outside the club but not connected to the attack on ex-Knick Chris Copeland, allegedly by another reveler on the sidewalk about 4:30 a.m. on April 8, 2015.
